thinking vs. feeling.. must we choose just one ?
by caliber inthinkingthinkers decide based primarily on logic, and when they do so, they consider a decision to be made.
they tend to see the world in black and white and dislike fuzziness.
feelingfeelers decide based primarily through social considerations, listening to their heart and considering the feelings of others.

Whos to blame ? Have we learnt?
by cluless inbeing lied to by the watchtower hurt.
it hurt because when i exposed these lies to members of the congregation i discoverd they preferd the lie to truth.
that they would compromise there family there integrity and friends to continue living a lie.

Who was your childhood hero or she-roe?
by zagor inok boys and girls something light tonight.
ive been talking to someone the other day who is studying psychology and she tells me you can tell a lot about a person based on who their childhood hero was.
im not sure if i subscribe to the idea at all, kind of reminds me of horoscope or tarot archetypes but on the other hand, ive been thinking tonight, she might be onto something there at least partly.

more women jds than men
by John Doe innow, i haven't been to meetings since i was about 20, but in my congregation the sexes were pretty much evenly split.
however, i've seen the statement several times that there are "not enough brothers to go around," so i can only assume that my congregation was atypical.
so, if there are more women jws, what is the reason for this?.

who is worst, witness father or worldly mother
by Hexie ini'd like to introduce myself first.....im from south africa,i"ve been a member for a while but this is the first time im posting.all i can say is ,whenever i read through these posts, i get mad ,sad and i laugh.. i am not a witness but ive got this "thing" against jw religion, because they''ve turned my brother into a monster zombie 6 years ago.damn,... if i only knew then what i know now,i would have been able to save him.lol.
he has two sons 8 and12yrs, and i can see how these children are being brainwashed.the older one loves playing soccer and asked if he could join a club, but his dad told him he will get into fights etc.
and how will jehova feel about that.i have a lot of opportunity to "unbrainwash" them but im wondering if i should wait till they a little older.his worldly wife is litteraly a wordly person...what i mean by that is, my brother works at sea and and when he is away ,she will hit those kids to go to meetings,because in her own words......if i want a nice life and and nice thing ,i have to do what your dad wants ...even though she doesnt care about the religion, wich in my eyes is probably worst than a witness.. how can i help them without cousing confusion?.
